November 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1787 Auctori Plebis Token. W-8770, Breen-1147. Rarity-3. EF-45 (PCGS). 119.0 grains. Golden ruddy-brown and very attractive, the shallow obverse design is a darker brown where circulation wear has changed the color at the high points. A few shallow surfaces marks come from the useful circulating life of this American-themed token thought to have been made circa 1795 in Great Britain as an anonymous trade token, one among many thousands in production in the mid-1790s. Never found with complete legends and date on both sides, here we have a complete obverse legend despite a slight misalignment of the die that shows a crescent of denticles, rarely seen on this issue. The date is bold and full on the reverse, but several letters of the legend fall beyond its rim. This example provides a bookend to the early die state in this collection, as it comes from the latest known state in the degradation of the reverse die, the curved die break connecting globe to seated figure's head is now very thick, the die break between her and the anchor similarly thick and extending from left anchor point to rim to left of L[IBER].
